Actually, I like the spacebar position on the Braille Edge 40 better than I like it, say on the Focus 40 Blue. I guess it depends on your hands. I have little hands, and the position on the Focus 40 Blue is somewhat irritating and awkward to me. This is why I typed on the keyboards before I got the display. This is not always a choice for us I know. Sometimes you get something and then have to adjust yourself to what you got because of the choices available to one.
